Padauk Luck Bowl

Nice bowl. Do you use a press while laminating?

Why do you call it a “luck bowl?” It sure is pretty whatever the reason.

It reminded me of a pot luck bowl, so i changed the pot to padauk.

The glue up is done by first glueing semented series of wood (like the cherry strip, maple, purple heart,maple, cherry)
then plane them , draw a circle on it to be what i cut out to then glue ontop a few different kinds of the circles. When all glued together, i put a hole on the where i want the top to be the stick on the laithe and make a bowl. Ive made 6 of these now and havent paid a dime to do it because i just use scrapwoods.
